I remember starting out on one of the early versions where you needed to bring a spanner from home in order to tweak the EQ’s 
And oh my word flanger is so so soooo played out - it really could do with being Phased out for at least a few years … hide it in the back of the “Ok to use” box, next to the “fresh” sample for scratching and a stuttering air horn
But for the flanger, whilst the sound of it is perfectly adequate, the volume inconsistency would be nice if it could be refined.

I didn’t want to bring up the fact people have been making memes about it for the past 15yrs 
I remember DJs being ribbed for using it in the mid 2000s such was its overuse, back when the aforementioned ‘professional’ DJ gear company were advertising it as sounding like an aeroplane taking off.

To flange or not to flange, having started on Denon I will agree on this one, however, the touch screen flange effect is more responsive and when mixed on a echo from the fixed FX it makes an interesting sound, especially in a spin back, pioneer does have a more gradual effect than the standard FX on Denon. Check out your response settings on FX, you might just find an interesting addition.
You touched an interesting topic on it self - as the proper usage of proper effect for certain application. Like the right effect for the right moment, and also on right frequencies…

While I prefer the Pioneer flanger regarding sound, I can live with Denon DJ’s approach. The volume dip (touch FX) needs to be corrected, though!

I used to set it at 16 beats then cut it in half leading up to the drop on a house track so for the last 4 beats of the breakdown it was on 1/4 time.
It helped me with timing if nothing else
